Runner on second held. Runner on first advanced to second. For some reason, the batter-runner ran all the way to second too! Three runners all at second base simultaneoulsy. The shortstop eventually got the ball and tagged everybody. The lead runner was out and the batter runner was out. What a weird double play that was!

Smart shortstop, alert umpire.
